Curtains with a twist

Interior Designer, Leslie Fine, wanted a
treatment that would allow the drapes to make a
statement in a high-ceilinged room. Rather than
just hang plain drapery panels, Leslie and her
client came up with a very inspiring way to
display curtains. The sheer fabric curtains are
woven at the top to frame the window.

To make a basket-weave panel, start off with
7 strips that can be folded in half over the
curtain rail and hang to the floor. Cut 3 strips
of fabric for the basket weave. Place the [7]
strips on the rail or rod and weave the [3]
strips over and under the fabric. Close off the
[3] strips at the back.
